I'm still hoping someone will do this with me, but I'm ready to get this brain re-wired and I'm ready to remember what food, real food, tastes like.
The long journey is going to take about a year. This will be a good head start.

Countdown
Two days left until I begin my first Whole 30. I'm both nervous and excited. I've made and frozen a couple soups so far; chicken, carrot and onion and cabbage with mixed vegetables. I have a menu planned out and know which days will be harder due to events I can't miss.

New Start and Preparation
The new start date for my first Whole30 is September 1st. It just made more sense to use the entire month, plus I am hoping to go to a wedding in Chehalis, WA on Oct 5th and don't want to end up shocking my stomach with wedding cake. :)
I'm making a big pot of chicken soup this weekend, along with pre-cooking a bunch of veggies, sides, bacon and a whole roasted chicken to cut up and freeze for salads later.
I also printed the Time Line to help me recognize the phases of the withdrawal from processed foods.
You can look it over here. It's pretty funny: http://whole9life.com/2012/06/the-whole30-timeline/

Whole 30
I'm hopping on the Whole 30 bandwagon beginning September 4th.
I plan to log my meals, some photos and my reactions/progress each day on this very blog.
I have read up on the likely side effects of breaking the addictions that processed foods are known to cause (e.g. headaches, mood swings, initial fatigue) and I'm hoping for a swift passing through all of the stages.
I hope to see a benefit in the form of better sleep, better alertness, weight loss, and a reprogrammed set of taste buds.
I have planned a menu ahead of time and made grocery lists of the items I will need to buy/make for each week.
Beginning stats will be posted the morning of Day 1 along with the day's meal plan and some photos.
If anyone wants to do this with me, I will send you my menu to give you an idea and that you can tailor to your liking and we can call/text/email to keep accountability and encouragement going day to day.
Send me a note if you want to be my accountability buddy! :)
